SweeetY, 29 Jan 2022I've had S10, S20 and S21...the S phones are getting worse each year and more expensive..... moreThe S21 actually dropped in price from the S20. Plus they gave $150 to $200 more in trade in values.
I got $550 trade in for my two year old S10, toward a launch S21. So my 256GB S21 only cost me $300 out of pocket.

There was a huge difference to me between my S10 with a 60hz refresh rate and the S21 with the 120hz variable refresh rate.

What's the point of the 64MP 1.1x sensor that only gets activated with 3x Zoom? Did they just had a bunch of lenses lying around and didn't know hat to do with them?

Sam799, 28 Jan 2022Hi!! How much SOT do you get on your S21? I'm facing some battery issues on mine, any tips?He easily gets 7-8 of on screen time, which is mediocre after updating to android 12 with one ui 4!
That’s why i had to stay away from android because it’s a buggy mess for me to go back on android

Was there much difference or improvement part... moreI wouldn't recommend getting S21, as many people who have went from S10 to S21 have really noticed a drop in resolution quality. Just wait and see if S22 will have 1440p, otherwise get S20, which has an option for 1440.

Maybe even a bit older Xiaomi Mi 9, S10+. May I ask you if you like high refresh rate?

aaronwt, 26 Jan 2022???When have I said I want a big phone. A 6.2" screen is a small phone. That is the size ... moreOk. I understand your concern. I went into phone finder, filtered in phones from 6.2 inches to 6.3. Not many of them are from popular brands. If you want a flagship phone, your only choices are Xiaomi 12x, Pixel 4a 5G, Redmi Note 8 2021, Fairphone 4, Sony Xperia L4 or upcoming Pixel 6a.

Pull out the earbud, put it in your ear, no hassle, don't need a crappy tangle mess. And when battery is dead, place it on wireless charger, and go to sleep. Goodnight!

I have no desire to go back to 20th century tech and use wired headphones. This is 2022. I've been using wireless headphones for many, many years now. No way would I ever go back to wired. Just like with commercials. I stopped watching commercials in the mid 80's when I started time shifting my TV watching. I would never go back to watching commercials.

I can easily go all day on my S21. Brighter HDR with the S21. Faster storage, faster processor, better camera etc. And a 120hz screen. The only thing that went backwards with the S21 is the screen resolution. The S10 has a 1440 x 3040 screen. And the S21 has a 1080 x 2400 screen. For me, all the other S21 improvements easily trumped the lower resolution screen.

aaronwt, 26 Jan 2022I've gone through countless headphones over the last fifty years. Whether they cost $500 ... moreYou'll always upgrade to something better? So I'm confused, are you perfectly happy with the quality of wireless earbuds or are you always in pursuit of something with superior audio quality? Sounds like you're wasting a lot of money my man. Buy a pair of Grados, Samsons, or Sennheisers and you'll never really have to buy another pair of headphones again for the rest of your life. A pair of wired headphones that sounds fantastic today will still sound just as fantastic in 25 years. A pair of wireless earbuds that sounds good today will be dead in 5 years because the batteries wore out, and the companies that produced them made them unrepairable.

Battery life is pretty disappointing even for a non gamer like me, it barely lasts for a day.
